The following class Jack attended was rather boring, nothing of particular note happening. However, nearing the end of class, Jack got a text from Nora that her and Andrea would be hanging around Jack's dorm because of one of the classes wrapping up nearby. Nora informed Jack that they should talk if he had the chance to stop by. Confirming that he would do so, Jack sent Nora a quick response and slid his phone away, getting back to the remainder of class.
Following the few minutes that sped by, Jack collected his things and immediately proceeded to his dorm. Like he was told, Nora and Andrea were waiting for him outside of the building as he arrived. Jack approached them with a casual wave and opened the door, welcoming them to join him in his room. "What, you expect us to go into that pigsty?" Nora joked. Andrea giggled and Jack rolled his eyes. "I guarantee you my room's probably twice as clean as yours. Now, do you want to talk or not?" he bit back. Nora laughed and entered the building along with Andrea, Jack filling up the rear. On the way to Jack's room, the three chatted about their classes and were slowly transitioning to what it was Nora had texted Jack about as he opened his door. "A party?" Jack asked. "When? Tonight?" Nora nodded. "Hell yeah, you in?" Jack shrugged. "I don't know man, I have classes tomorrow," he meekly replied. Andrea giggled again and Nora rolled her eyes. "Hey dumbass, tomorrow's Saturday. No excuses, I expect you to be there. Just to make sure, I'll stop by an hour before the party starts and pick you up. We'll get there early," Nora demanded. Jack groaned. "For god's sake, can't a guy just say no?" More laughter. "I mean, yeah, but I don't think you know what's best for you. Come on, it'll be fun!" Jack begrudgingly agreed just to make Nora shut up. Grinning from ear to ear about his response, Nora saw something on his desk which caught her attention. "Hey, what's that?" she asked. Jack was caught off guard and didn't know what she was referring to until he caught sight of her picking his shrink ray up. "No, don'!" Jack exclaimed. He tried taking it from Nora but she evaded his attempt and hid it behind her back.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, why'd you get so snippy? Is there something that special about this thing?" a grin formed on Nora's face. Jack sighed. He didn't really care to go around in circles avoiding any questions, so he immediately filled his friends in on the purpose of the device. "That's so cool!" Nora said. Andrea nodded in agreement. "So essentially, I could shrink you right here, right now?" The tan girl whipped the shrink ray from behind her back and pointed it at Jack. "You idiot, be careful!" Jack finally snatched the device away from his devious friend. "Now, about the party..."
"Oh right, you're coming to the party," Nora intervened. "I'll be here at four to pick you up. We don't even have to drive, it's less than a block off campus." Jack nodded in understanding. "Okay, sounds good. I can leave if I get too uncomfortable, though, yeah?" he asked. Nora snorted. "I don't think you'll need to do that, but sure. That's fine. Anyways, Andrea and I should get going, we have one more class before we're done for the day. See ya!" Nora put a pep in her step as she walked out the door. Andrea followed shortly thereafter giving Jack a calm wave. Once they were out of the room, Jack sat down at his desk and slumped in the chair. "Great, yet another person knows about the shrink ray, how wonderful," he grumbled. "I suppose it could have gone worse though."
Does anything happen the rest of the afternoon before Jack's party?
